Reviews
The Charleston Advisor, 2005
"..OVERALL ASSESSMENT - Easy to use and extremely comprehensive in its subject coverage, the International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences online from Elsevier offers a great deal to academic and research libraries..
..Elsevier?s commitment to
continual updates and cross-referencing will further increase its value..
..annual pricing can be a real bargain and can open access
to this valuable resource to users 24/7.."
Contemporary Psychology, 2004
..the largest corpus of knowledge about the social and behavioral sciences in existence.. the social science equivalent of the Egyptian
pyramids..one of the great wonders of the scientific world. ..the Web-based version of the Encyclopedia fully unleashes the power, complexity,
and organization of this monumental work. I tried a number of diverse topics via the web and was extremely pleased with the results
..each time I entered a topic on the web, I located not only primary articles, but a host of additional articles that cut across psychology,
philosophy, history, and law. .. unquestionably the most ambitious, remarkable, intellectual product to emerge from the social sciences
in decades and is a simultaneously humbling and inspiring achievement.
CHOICE, November 2003
IESBS, a major social science reference work with a user-friendly interface.. Displays provide three alternatives: PDF, Summary Plus..,
and Full-Text + links..content may be accessed by searching the database or selecting among five categories on the navigation bar.. Well
worth the expense, even to libraries holding the print version..
Summing Up: Essential. Large public and academic libraries.
Times Higher Education Supplement, June 2003
...a monumental effort to bring together knowledge from across the globe in the social and behavioural sciences.
Library Journal, April 2003
The web version of International Encyclopedia of the Social & Behavioral Sciences is a well-organized and well-designed product, with
full access to the content of the print edition. As an increasingly valuable interdisciplinary resource it is strongly recommended for
academic and medium to large public libraries.
Behavioral and Social Sciences Librarian, Volume 21/2, 2003
The IESBS is truly a monumental work..... it is and will be for many years 'the encyclopedia' in the social and behavioral sciences.
